Visitor Experience Enhancement Program

The Visitor Experience Enhancement Program seeks to enable the tourism industry to improve its customer experience, so that more visitors have positive experiences and will recommend the Territory to others.
One-off funding of up to $50 000 (ex GST) is available per business. Businesses will be expected to provide a minimum matching cash co-contribution. Applications have now closed for round 5.
